Wat Tyler and John Ball leading the Peasants' Revolt, each inscribed with their name for ease of identification (London, British Library, MS Royal 18 E. I, f. 165v). English history is littered with protests against the ruling classes, one of the most notorious being the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. This...
MUSIC FROM THE SOIL, MUSIC FOR EVERYONE You may have noticed there is something stirring out there in the hedgerows, a whisper in the copse, a ripple on the pond. A diverse breed of musical innovators are drawing on the past, on folklore, history and myth, to weave new patterns on their sonic looms... Some operate within the rich worlds of folk music and dance; others draw threads from electronica, metal and the avant-garde. And although distinct in their sounds and methods, there is also a markedly inclusive spirit. We hope you enjoy the first issue of our new music 'zine, PEASANT. 48 page A5 zine Printed on high quality PEFC certified recycled stock Proudly made in Wessex and printed in Essex A zine by revolting peasants, for revolting peasants Featuring ENYA, DAISY RICKMAN, PETER TALISMAN, BROADSIDE HACKS, BOSS MORRIS, ABYSMAL SPECTER and more!
Popular history writer Terry Deary takes us on a light-hearted and often humorous romp through the centuries with Mr & Mrs Peasant, recounting foul and dastardly deeds committed by the undercla…
Here they are, in their grubby glory: Produced by Foundry, these were originally purchased a while ago with the intention of having some bystanders for a scenario in the A Song of Ice and Fire project where the Mountain terrorises the locals, but my intention to play some Rangers of Shadow Deep had me dig them out of storage and paint them up! They even have painted eyes, making them finished to a higher standard than the majority of my Starks or Lannisters... Technically, I only really needed 3 peasants for the scenarios, but I figured I might as well get the whole pack done rather than resigning some of them to the fate of rattling round in the drawers of minis for who knows how long... Finishing these brings the Tally to: 25 vs 68 = -43 Almost halfway to my target of 52 painted miniatures this year, with only four months to go... So what’s next? Finishing these means that I should have all of the miniatures that I need to play though the first Rangers of Shadow Deep mission, so next comes terrain! I actually finished these miniatures a fortnight ago, so I’m further ahead on the next steps than you might otherwise expect...
When the charter of liberties we now know as Magna Carta was drawn up at Runnymede in 1215, it tapped into a long tradition of English kings making promises to uphold good laws and repudiate past oppressions. One of the most significant early written examples of such promises can be...
A new book investigates the truth behind famous quotations that have been wrongly attributed, misremembered, garbled in translation—or are flat-out fake.
Highlights Imagine raising six spirited kids on a grass farm--today. About the Author: Dorcas Smucker is a mother of six and a Mennonite minister's wife. 504 Pages Biography + Autobiography, Personal Memoirs Description About the Book Three books in one: Ordinary Days: Family Life in a Farmhouse, Upstairs the Peasants are Revolting: More Family Life in a Farmhouse, and Downstairs the Queen Is Knitting Book Synopsis Imagine raising six spirited kids on a grass farm--today. Newspaper columnist Dorcas Smucker and her brood live out their days in full view in this collection of musings--picking blueberries while watching for bears, hoping for angels while driving off the freeway, moving into the "thousand-story house," and enduring lectures from teenage children about the virtue of respect. Three books in one, this collection includes Smucker's Ordinary Days: Family Life in a Farmhouse, Upstairs the Peasants are Revolting: More Family Life in a Farmhouse, and Downstairs the Queen Is Knitting. Often slightly off-stride and with disarming humility, Dorcas finds endless materials for stories and life lessons in everyday happenings. As she says, "I, like my mother, feed my children mashed potatoes and stories. I repeat the ones I heard from Mom and turn our family escapades into tales to be repeated while washing dishes or snapping buckets of green beans on the front porch. A story is much more than just a story, of course. It is entertainment, identity, interpretation, and lessons. This is who we are, this is why we do what we do, this is important, that is not, and don't ever whack your brother's finger with a hatchet like your dad did to Uncle Philip." This delightful trilogy includes some of Smucker's best writing. She covers topics and dilemmas everyone can relate to while also inviting readers to explore her Mennonite family's more personal experiences. Her voice is humorous, encouraging, and at times, doubting, but she never takes herself too seriously. As you read, her stories will entertain you and ultimately soothe your soul.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of 50 People Who Buggered Up Britain, Quentin Letts, comes his blistering new book on how Britain's out-of-touch, illiberal elite fills its boots. 'HILARIOUS' Daily Mail 'With its vicious takedowns, Quentin Letts' laugh-out-loud Patronising Bastards will have the lefty-elite running scared' The Sun Not since Marie Antoinette said 'Let them eat cake' have the peasants been so revolting. Western capitalism's elites are bemused: Brexit, Trump, and maybe more eruptions to follow. But their rulers were so good to them! Hillary Clinton called the ingrates 'a basket of deplorables', Bob Geldof flicked them a V sign, Tony Blair thought voters too thick to understand the question. Wigged judges stared down their legalistic noses at a surging, pongy populous. These people who know best, these snooterati with their faux-liberal ways, are the 'Patronising Bastards'. Their downfall is largely of their own making - their Sybaritic excesses, an obsession with political correctness, the prolonged rape of reason and rite. You'll find these self-indulgent show-ponys not just in politics and the cloistered old institutions but also in high fashion, football, among the clean-eating foodies and at the Baftas and Oscars, where celebritydom hires PR smoothies to massage reputations and mislead, distort, twist. Political columnist and bestselling author Quentin Letts identifies these condescending creeps and their networks, their methods and their dubious morals. Letts kebabs them like mutton. It's baaaahd. It's juicy. Richard Branson, Emma Thompson, Shami Chakrabarti, Jean-Claude Juncker and any head waiter who calls you 'young man' - this one's for you!
